Lots of people who frequent here would have loved to see the “Xojo concept to have succeeded.”
But at most every opportunity to encourage vocal members in “the community” Xojo chose to instead ignore their advice and subsequently ended up pushing them away
So they lost their good will and word of mouth promotion by those people
The recent SO survey points out how valuable word of mouth is when developers research new tools and tech
Losing those active, experienced, vocal boosters is a hit
JUST losing their voices is bad enough
But many have warned people NOT to use Xojo or start using it
In part thats because “We dont trust Xojo to prioritize the things that matter to us”
Heck, INN got started in part because of that
